There was a discussion in a prior thread about making an UC "suit" or any NC item that could be sold through the mall. This item when worn would would display the image of either the UC pet art of your choice (or just the art that corresponds with your pets color & species) in place of your pet's image. Applying this item would also make a small notation on the pet lookup saying "Wearing the UC suit!" similar to the "Zapped by the petpet lab ray" to make it clear that it's not a true UC pet, but instead just an imitation. This way people who just care about the art get it, and people who are rarity-conscious can cling to their "genuine" UC pets. This would also be less likely to completely crash the UC market here on clraik.
I mean, I see issues with the implementation I suggested above as far as it opening up opportunities to scam dummies, I'm just thinking outside the box.
